Kenyan journalist Dennis Omondi who is in need of urgent medical aid has finally landed in India.

Dennis confirmed to TUKO.co.ke on Thursday, February 8 that he had already been admitted to the hospital and doctors had already run some tests.

"I landed safely and have already started tests. I thank Almighty Father for his love," he said.

Dennis, however, still needs to raise more money to cater for his treatment and stay in India. So far, Kenyans have responded with overwhelming love as they have sacrificed alot and contributed to help him raise the needed amount.

Initialy, doctors had advised Dennis to seek treatment in South Africa but after consultations, India was settled on as South Africa was too expensive.
